T2FM: Eclipsed Released (10/30/2009)

Introduction

Welcome to Port Aerinth, a small, wealthy, and powerful harbor town. Its inhabitants abandoned it after some still unknown tragedy struck there, but rumor has it that in their terror they left behind their considerable wealth and possessions. While most see this as a tragedy, shake their heads, and get on about their lives, you see an opportunity. An opportunity to plunder without consequence, to finally get the wealth you desire…and deserve, after all these years spent crawling through the shadows. But strange things occur the moment you set foot in Port Aerinth. It seems that not everyone – or everything – has fled the town. Maybe tonight, the darkness isn’t your friend…

If you are experiencing heavy stuttering that causes the mission to become unplayable, I suggest downloading this FPS Fix version. The mission is set up differently for there are attributes to the AI that have been removed due to the FPS loss on many systems. The overall experience will be altered because of this and some story elements may be confusing. There has also been a reduction to the aesthetic appeal regarding vegetation.

Crash!

I don't have the Enhancement Pack installed. But the game crashes inside the town. I can navigate the street if I keep looking down, but the moment I look up the game crashes. The problem starts at the very beginning of the area that flags the 'Get Inside' objective complete, and from then it persists almost everywhere.

EDIT: Found the source of the problem. I have Dedx installed in my Thief directory, and it seems its extra resources were causing the crash. You might want to add this to the mission text too.

Now a suggestion: some levers become FrobInert after the first use, and this can cause problems. For example, in the room that you access from the Hammerite's roof, there is a lever to open the gate on the floor. The first time I was standing on the gate without knowing it and pulled the lever. Because the gate didn't open I had to load. Had I saved after pulling the lever I probably would have had to restart the mission.

Can someone tell me how to break into the electricity plant? I also found some explosive teddies. should I open the door with those? Because they only react to the player and not the flairs or broadhead arrows

I found the Book of Vorenthius and Anastasia's ring (don't know what to do with that), turned on some external lights but i can't figure out what to do now.

The ring is a bonuus objective. You'll trigger the objective by reading something hidden near Old Town. Speaking of that, that's where you need to go now: there are two entrances, but one requires something you found on Vorenthius' attic.

The electricity plant will be unaccessible until you have gone to the mountain. Find the key to the mountain gate first.
